Excerpt

Panda, Antique - a multinational youth organization looks to conserve mangrove forests and boosts local aquaculture in a village in this town. Alpha team Organization (ATO), Inc. has recently launched the Mag-Aba Mangrove Reforestation Project in coastal barangay of Mag-Aba. " I think there is a high need for the conservation of our local natural resources," said Crystal Santillan, president of the ATO, which was founded in this municipality. That " the Northwest Panay Peninsula Natural Park is within our Region " and the sizable number of marine protected areas " made them realize that " it is time for us, the youth to conserve remains [of our natural resources ] for us and the next generations, " said Santillan.
